1:02 pm
slams him. >> something i had to do. he went straight for the officer. and i was -- it wasn't doing any good. this guy was really pcp'd out. >> he's a homeless man. a former cripp gang leader and drug dealer. >> oh, my goodness. what an interesting turn of events. >> right. he says in was a point in time in his life where he would not have assisted the cops. obviously, when he was back with his gang. >> he's obviously turned his life around and now is trying to do good, and in this case he did. >> officer taylor was by himself. you quickly see in the video, once alexander helps him out, other patrol cars to assist. bystanders say it could have been a lot worse if it wouldn't for him. >> he would have been hurt. he wanted to thank me for helping him gelt out of the situation. >> the officer is on leave with a couple dislocated fingers and other injuries. samuel dewey jackson, the
1:03 pm
suspect, does face charges for assaulting an officer. you have 0 take a look at this video we gawk from wftv in florida. you're never going to believe what this is. >> something moving. >> yeah. that is a live frog inside an unopened bag of salad mix. >> what? >> a woman named juanita hitman isn't lake county florida, went to walmart and bought a bag of market side salad mix. took it home. was, you know, doing stuff in her kitchen. noticed, like, legs, or like a hand. i'm like, oh, my gosh. bang, bang -- something is in this bag. it's moving, it's moving. >> i'm not surprised it was still alive. a lot of stuff to nibble on. >> poor little good night, swept up in the process. >> contacted the manufacturer, contacted the company that made the salad mix. according to reports, the fda did come to her house and inspect the bag.
1:04 pm
they have not commented yet on their inspection. we did reach out to walmart, and they had this to say. this fails to meet our high quality food at every level and reached out to the customer who expressed our sincerest apologies and reached out 0 market side, the make of the sally and they did not get back us to by our deadline. >> this doesn't shock me, surprise me and doesn't gross me out. where do you think frogs live, people? >> out in the wild. what's alarming about this, most of these bags are marked pre-washed. people dump the salad mix into the bowl and serve it to their families. >> the manufacturing company has to have some sort of due diligence. right? >> of course. >> what other bag would have a frog in it? one frog gets into one bag of salad and we're freaked out? >> yes. i'm never going to buy bagged salad again. for some reason to me and many others, every day across america, people forget that red light means you're supposed to
1:05 pm
stop. here's a roundup of a bunch of examples of just that. my friends at atf, accidents caught on red light cameras from all over the country. miami springs, florida. yellow -- boom. both drivers claim top have had the light in this instance. i think the truck made the wrong move, fwhau cab cobecause that b was almost through the intersection. here's one from wilmington, north carolina. one clearly going through the red light. you see that driver, car still operable. you see him take off there at the end. this guy might end up in hot aware after this i. can't believe that car is sill operable. >> you won't believe this one. university park, maryland. guys go to make a left from the middle lane. hit as police car. not only are you getting a ticket, now you just ran into the person who's going to give you one. >> that was one of those awful drivers you can't stand. beating that line of traffic, trying to make a left and this
1:06 pm
guy -- it comes back to you. people drive the way they are in life. >> now to miami gardens, florida. i got to believe the driver here didn't even know there was a light here, because watch how fast this driver is just clearly going through a solid red. looks like this guy actually stopped instead of taking off. and this one just confuses me. piscataway, new jersey, looks like a green her. a red here. both go up through the intersection and one into oech oenchts the only ones on the road going in the same direction. >> yeah. things will get -- every now and then. but the weirdness of this video, thankfully in all of these video, no serious injuries, no deaths, but just a lot of studenty out there on the road. ipad giveaway alert. >> we're about to give away another ipad 3. so grab your pen and paper and stand by. >> a littl later we'uz enter today's giveaway. >> and i've got to say, any day that you win an ipad is a pretty

1:08 pm
pretty good. >> the helmsman was knocked in the head and couldn't help out. these were people who were novices. only had basic boat training. so there was nothing they could do. plus, all five of the people in the boat school were so sickened from the 20-foot waves and the 55 mile-per-hour winds, they couldn't help with any kind of rescue. this incident happened on january 2nd of this year, but they are now in court trying to figure ourt who's really at fault. the prosecutor in the case says that the captain and one other person were responsible for a number of safety breaches. the captain said that he denies any of his actions were likely to cause injury or harm. it's an everything goes kind of fight. >> so -- so, wait. they're not, like, little rubber toy knives? >> see what rules where there are no rules, next. and a runway.

i found a video that is going to help us draw a conclusion about android phone users. this one is called stuff android users say. this video was posted on youtube by a mobile cell phone. >> there's your problem. it's an iphone. >> how did you get here using apple math. >> i got a droid. >> this dude is trying to tell
1:25 pm
everyone why android phones are so much better than iphones but you know what? he's complaining, a little too cocky. >> i can hold it any way and still get full reception. >> stokes the flames between the debate between android and i moan users. >> why he has to be so cocky about it. >> look at me. i'm steve jobs. steve jobs. ooh -- ooh. >> definitely too soon. can't we all just get along? we could call each other on the phones that are used to connect us. >> i do agree with him on just one thing. >> steven -- >> yes? >> it is time for -- what the heck? >> this video is called "the breathing tree." >> why does the ground look like a stomach going like this? >> it looks like the earth is breathing. doesn't it? it looks like this tree is getting a big, old breath of air. >> i don't know what's happening

1:27 pm
dense, but it could be the lower soil isn't at dense allowing the roots to move around more. >> so the tree people aren't real is what you're saying? >> what i'm saying is that this tree is not related to the tree people. >> okay. >> but there could be tree people out there? >> i guess there could be. >> oh, all right. why did the water fowl cross the road? i have no idea. two videos of just that. in cupertino, california. somebody submitted this video to "right this minute." a duck crossed the road, but then notices a migration is going o. ha. >> it's not just five duck the ducks you see keep coming. >> why waddlefly? >> imy it's mob mentality. saw the first one wobble across and thought, guess that's what i'll dough. >> maybe just wanted to go to the restaurant across the street and the viewer who put it on my channel said, let's just give them some treats. >> leave behind any fertilized
1:28 pm
eggs for you and steven to eat? >> let's jump across the pond to ireland. this swan decided, you know what? i'm just going to walk on the bridge. on a bridge in dublin, ireland and doesn't understand what to do when the light turns green. maybe he's lost. maybe using apple maps and doesn't know which way to go. >> that's a huge swan. >> see it next to the dcars? look at this nice pass per by. >> all of those speeding by the swan motorcycle, cars, bikes, i guy going like this flapping his arms? >> once on the sidewalk, raising the arms up to get it to flap away did not work, because it's just standing there. that's going to do it for us here at "right this minute." don't forget to tune in tomorrow for the "rtm" top ten countdown.
